No physical intimate contact?

Long story short, my husband does not like being touched, it hasn't always been this way but it has been for the past couple of years. I asked this before, but did not get any real answers. I am wondering how to do I cope without intimate contact, I don't need sex (even though it would be welcome) just the snuggles. What can I do to prevent me from wanting it?

    Why should YOU give up something that's so easy to receive and so easy for your husband to give?

    I mean honestly if he's not touching you, at all, then you should start talking to him about your needs. When he's doing this he's saying your not good enough to touch or sleep with, or have sex with.

    Why stay married if you're both going to be roommates? This is a serious problem and it will ruin your marriage.

    You're entitled to feel loved and wanted, and cuddling and snuggling is the least he can do to show that to you. Giving affection to you costs your husband absolutely nothing, but its worth all the weight of all the riches of the world to you. So why would YOU give that up?

    Three possible reasons why he's like that:

    1. Low testosterone and the embarrassment of that sitch

    2. An affair

    3. Past sex abuse (childhood or as a teen) that's just now coming up for him.

    Three solutions:

    1. An honest talk with the doctor and hormone testing, then meds.

    2. http://www.marriagebuilders.com,/ or divorce, or intense counseling

    3. Individual counseling for him (after he admits and accepts that he's a survivor), then couples counseling for you both.

    there is nothing you can do to prevent you from wanting it. It's a normal human thing to want to be touched both non-sexually and sexually. It's a need, actually. If he's emotionally withdrawn, too, start taking action on my list of threes pronto. And by all means, pleasure yourself away from him (shower, etc), but keep your side of the street clean: NO emotional or physical affairs.

    He might have someone else.

    Hire a P.I.

    He seems to be a "good guy" by not having sex with you to keep it straight for the other girl.

    Now this is just my point of view. Health issues might be the thing too.

    First hire the P.I. then if nothing comes up ask him privately about that matter of why. Maybe he has STD? If so, how?

    Just make sure to never tell him about the P.I., it was for the the relationship.

    Peace and Love

    Hello, I think your feelings are normal. You want to be loved, nothing wrong with that at all.in fact,

    u sound love starved. What's weird is your husband... the problem is him not u. I know what u feel like. I was Married two years ago with someone the same way, She said shed loved me at the Altar, but went cold on me three months later. I later found out she was cheating on me with a Doctor. I told her i loved her everyday. She wouldn't let me take a shower with her or make love with out a condom. She left me for this Doctor and said i don't make enough money only after three months of Marriage. Absolutely broke my heart. Did u ask him why he doesn't want to be touched? Some guys just don't know what they have ,,,, God Bless you .

    Its hard to lie to yourself, or prevent yourself from wanting it. Many people just aren't very touchy unfortunately. In this case, you can't really stop yourself from wanting to snuggle with him. Maybe snuggle with a teddy bear instead?

    Well the only thing you can do is get it from someone else because thats something everyone needs so dont even try to stop wanting it but good luck
